Internal threading / grooving combination inserts.

[Overland]

I have a couple of classic internal thread bars that take "lay-down" inserts like AG60.
Does anyone know if there are any grooving inserts that would fit in these holders please ?
Maybe there wouldn't be enough support in this style toolholder, don't know.
Thanks
Bob

Tool-flo may show something in their catalog, but I doubt it. Off hand I don't recall seeing grooving inserts in the lay-down style inserts, just threading.

I doubt it but you never know.

I just learned something, thank you, Murf. Those are the only grooving inserts I've heard of in the "laydown" style.

Carmex makes some also!

Thanks Murf.
I do some work for a local hydraulic repair shop, and sometimes make new pistons out of steel. They often require "O" ring grooves.
The one I'm doing now has an "O" ring groove about 2 mm deep, and 3.5 mm width, in an 18 mm bore.
The Vargus inserts, with a 3/8" IC, are a little small unfortunately.
Thanks anyway.

I just started using the Carmex inserts the other day, bought the 16ER pack that came with the anvil for them, so far so good and handy to be able to use threading holders for them, the pack also offers slightly different widths to all my other grooving inserts which is a bonus too.

Allied makes some interesting stuff.
